Mayor Hewitt continues 10 receive many applica-
tons for the offices which will become vacant May
!. The officials whose terms expire are Police Com
missioner Voorhis Fire Commissioner Smith, Charities
Commissioner Porter, Tax Commissioner Donnelly,
Street Cleaning Commissioner Coleman, Park Com
missioner Powers, Health Commissioner johnson and
Dock Commissioner Koch Besides these are two
vacancies In tho Park Board cause by the resigna-
TIC ms OF Messrs. Beekmah and Crimmns About tho
only things Mr. Hewitt has said in connection with
the appointments are that he will appoint Democrats.
IL he find proper men in that party; that there
should 10 lawyer each commission, and that one
q, least OF the refnhinig commissioners should he an
expert at least practical man, possessing knowl
edge OF the requirements OF the department TO which
he ie appointed.
There is a strong belief In the minds of those who
are IN a position to judge fairly that Mr.. Hewitt will
reappomt Police commissioner Voorhis and Charities
Commissioner Porter There those also Who think
that the Mayor disposed TO favor the reappOntment
OF street-Clcaning Commissioner Coleman. This feel
ing is ensa the tact that the Street Cleaning

frmed by the Basia CT Health. composed OF tho two

that he wants builder Tor the place, and when
one is found who - builder aud uncxceplionable in
other respects be will come near capturing the ap-

years Registrar II Vital Statistics in che Health De-
partment. He " Q member 0i several medical and

sanitary needs OF the city.
Tax Commissioner Donnelly is strongly recon-
mended reappointnent and it is thought that his
chances are good. There are several other names
mentioned In connection with the place.
For Dock Commissioner there are many names put
forward. Among them arc those of James j. Kelso
and Vincent G. kiug. Those who ought 10 know say
that the well-known Captain Samuels, late OF the
yacht Daun.ess stands good chance Of receiving the
appointment
For the vacancies in the Park Department the
names mentioned are legion. No one can torn any
clear idea to whom the Mayor will appoint. The
appontees will probably not be politicians As there
will DO three vacancies tho new members can control

effect of the Interstate law the manager OF one OF the

Coast at 81 20 and low as 62l2 cents on cut
The ,ate as established for canned goods, fish,
fruits etc. is 81 90, and barley by carload 40 cents.
New-York is the greatly favored city by the law.
Chicago will be able to reach small cities in the West
close NC to St. Paul. Sioux City and such places, but
ON the other hand New-York statesmen can come into
Michigan and Indiana within fifty miles OF Chicago
and sell goods and we cannot compete"
j. w. Doane. the tea importer, SAID: "We are not
concerned about the Interstate law 1t Is out OF season
for us now. but sure to get reasonable rates
from the Pacific Coast tor large tea importatops
The Canadian Pacific proposes to attend to that part
OF it. That company viii bring the tea to Winnipeg,
and then reasonable rates can't be made to Chicago
the railraod will put line of steamers from Port
Arthur. The law cannot shut out our tea. look,
however for modification of the law that will make
